=== '''''[[Mummies Alive]]!'' contains examples of:''' ===
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Nefer-tina, who fights right alongside the other three guardians of prince Rapses and even disguised herself as a guy to ride chariots in [[Did Not Do the Research|ancient Egypt]]. Is [[Bandage Babe|inexplicably]] still mistaken for a guy on occasion.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Various gods, such as [[Everybody Hates Hades|Anubis]] and [[Cats Are Mean|Bastet]], are portrayed as malicious, while they were benevolent figures in [[Egyptian Mythology]]. Even Ammut was originally a neutral force who was harmless to people who were good in life.
* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: Ammut, ''[[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Devourer Of Souls]]''!
** I guess lion + hippo + crocodile averages out to dog.
** So Ammut acts like ''[[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|a mutt]]''?
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Presley.
* [[Animation Bump]]: The [[Transformation Sequence]] is notably better animated than the rest of the series, probably because the creators knew you'd be seeing it ''at least'' once an episode.
Line 50 ⟶ 47:
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Armon, the team bruiser, has no right arm. However, while transformed his armor gives him back the missing limb. He's still pretty formidable without it.
* [[Henshin Hero]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Besides [[Cree Summer]] and [[Scott McNeil]], Ja-Kal and Heka are the Ocean dub's [[DragonballDragon Ball|Cell and Freeza]] (Heka is also [[Beast Wars (Animation)|Airazor]]).
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: One of the sorceress Chantra's abilities.
* [[Idiosyncratic Wipe]]: Scene-changes were done by having a plate with the series logo... do... stuff.
Line 66 ⟶ 63:
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Every time the Mummies suit up.
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]: Scarab
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: Scarab masquerades as a respectable businessman, but it doesn't particularly impede the Mummies. Then again, "Scarab" technically has no publicity whatsoever among civillians since the "respectable businessman" is an alter ego the Mummies have no clue to.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Nefer-Tina (makes sense, consdering she's dead. But even in flashback episodes she still has white hair!)
* [[Wrench Wench]]: Nefer-Tina's the one who maintains the team's vehicles.
